Fun listen. At the end, I thought, "oh, that's a good one!" Great free audible.

A Fun Listen

Revisado: 07-14-24

I listened over the course of three days, binging when possible. It was a good story, a fun listen, and I wanted to know who dunnit. I appreciated that the heavier topics at play in the story line did not take center-stage; the characters and dialogue did. And to counter reviews that did not appreciate the salty language - I enjoyed it! It was not overused nor the focus but it did add color to characters and topics that deserve an F bomb or four. A Texas grandma who decides to become a heavy drinker in her 70s had me considering my future life goals!

Great listen.

Revisado: 07-30-23

A great listen about the fear of women's abilities, both from the world & from themselves, through the perspectives of three women in a long line of Weywards. The narrators were perfect. Weyward would make a great series.

I genuinely wanted to slap the main character.

Revisado: 01-27-23

I said, out loud, more than once, please shut up, while listening to the main character of this story whine. I did not find the main character to be interesting, relatable, or likeable..but likeable is not the right word - tolerable. Her whining was intolerable, and the story line did nothing to rescue the listen.

The narration distracted me from the story

Revisado: 08-07-20

Putting your work out into the world isn't easy and I don't take lightly leaving any negative commentary. When a narrator distracts from the story, we have a problem. J. McKay's style of speaking is, in my opinion, not suited for narration. It isn't an inflection, it is a dogmatic way of speaking that distracts the listener and detracts from the story; the last word of each sentence is drawn out in a very odd manner that sounds whiny with a hint of depression (her octave drops when she draws out the last word and it feels...uncertain, sad). Now to read this, it doesn't sound like a big deal. But to listen to it 137 times in a chapter (and there are multiple chapters), you quickly understand why so many people have made comments about it (I read them and ignored them thinking "nahhh...can't be that big of a deal - yes - yes it is).
I do not feel the 2 narrators did anything to help the story, they may have even just added confusion. They aren't used in a consistent, cohesive manner where the voice of one narrator indicates a specific change or character in the story. The randomness of this only added to a not-great experience.
Ms. Armstrong's work has been a fun distraction and I hope to come back to it at a future date.

a long journey to another time & back again

I agree, one of King's best.
There is heart in the characters. There are details in the details! Great mash of history & imagination & possibility.
Thank you Mr. King.

What do you believe?

Revisado: 08-18-17

I thought this was an interesting approach to a story about many things, including religion, fear, family, exorcism - both as experienced through the characters & the influences that sculpt our views on them - and this was a story about the little girl left after the show is over.
The story kept me curious and thinking.

An ok story but not an entertaining read.

Revisado: 07-03-17

Found myself bored more than a few times. Not suspense, not thriller. More like a lifetime movie script.

Loved it.

Revisado: 04-15-16

One of the best I have listened to. Story is well written & full of character & characters. It covers a multitude of genres...mystery, crime, women, love/hate, prison, addiction, courtroom drama & ghosts. None of it is tied up in the usual pretty ribbon ending. Audio reading was spot on perfect. Would make a great movie!
